<b>Abstract:</b><br>

Web services represent a unique opportunity for companies to utilize the

internet to further enhance their business.

Web services can be used to

create a new breed of business applications ranging from the well

defined such as supply chain management to new and innovative business

services.</p>

<p>

 But how do we identify opportunities in our business to

utilize these services? And once, we have defined these opportunities,

how do we ensure that they meet the business need?

We will focus on the discovery and design of web services using UML.

Describing web services in UML allows the design of these services to be

platform independent. We will also briefly touch on some implementation

details for the most popular platforms (IBM, Microsoft, and Sun).  </p>
